Buxom is on sale at Sephora.com. Not everything is on sale but the True Hue Blush, Full-Bodied Lipgloss, and a few other items are 50% off.
Quite a few items are out of stock but Sephora has been known to restock after a few days so I’d bookmark and check back at a later time!
Belif Moisturizing and Firming Eye Cream ($48) seems like a logical purchase after trying out Belif The True Cream Moisturizing Balm. Belif’s Moisturizing Balm formula is intensely hydrating and it retains moisture so well, it just seems smart to give their eye cream a try! That is, of course, with the hope that the eye cream is as hydrating as the moisturizer!
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue Eye Cream ($60) is one of my holy grail eye creams. I absolutely love it.
A few months ago I purchased the Charlotte Tilbury The Magic Skin Trilogy which included full sizes of Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, Charlotte Tilbury Magic Night Cream, and Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue.
I admit I had my doubts about Magic Cream and as much as I love Night Magic Cream I think it is quite expensive for what you get. I do not mind paying the cheaper $60 price for Magic Eye Rescue Eye Cream. I’m also vaguely surprised it isn’t more expensive!
Sephora recently offered a deluxe size sample of Erborian Yuza Double Lotion with your online order so I decided to give a little try out! I happen to embrace the Korean essence trend to the max! This started when I tried out Sana Hadanomy Collagen Lotion about six years ago. Ever after that, I always start my skin care routine with a good, moisturizing essence.
Erborian is an herbal Korean brand that launched around January (correct me if I’m wrong on that time frame). It’s a brand that I haven’t really played with myself so I was curious to try out for size so the sample couldn’t have come at a better time.
Erborian Yuza Double Lotion is an interesting essence as it isn’t a traditional formula. This is a bi-phase formula that resembles Garnier’s new Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Waterproof Makeup Remover. The lotion has two phases that when combined apparently provide nourishment and radiance to skin. It also reminds me of The Body Shop’s Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Essence Lotion but unlike that formula this fails to absorb well!
Il Profvmo is an Italian Niche Perfume House founded by Silvana Casoli with a price range of $95 to $110. If had I choose a particular country for niche perfume it would likely be France as many of my favorite brands are from France but if there wasn’t France I’d always have Italy. There are many, many prolific Italian Niche Perfume Houses to love and Il Profvmo is one of those houses.
Il Profvmo has been around since 2004 but discovered the fragrances in 2013 when a friend of mine gifted me with Black Dianthus because they knew I was a fond fan and collector of Annick Goutal.
I hated it on first smell but it taught me a valuable lesson about fragrance. Never, ever judge a perfume by first sniff alone! As not to insult my friend I quickly tried to mask my disapproval of the pungent aroma of Black Dianthus when sniffing it from the bottle. I quickly understood why it was gifted to me after trying it. Black Dianthus is a sophisticated oriental with interesting floral notes like carnation and belladona swirled with fruity layers of berries, rhubarb, and vetiver. To me, it smells like a rainy day in an English garden. It’s actually a unisex fragrance so it has some warming notes from thyme and licorice but it also has a clean, yet deep, complex layer of floral notes that’s reminiscent of fragtrances from Annick Goutal like Eau du Sud.
